A. Onae et al., SATURATION SPECTROSCOPY OF AN ACETYLENE MOLECULE IN THE 1550 NM REGION USING AN ERBIUM-DOPED FIBER AMPLIFIER, Optics communications, 142(1-3), 1997, pp. 41-44
We have observed saturated absorption of the nu(1) + nu(3) band of (C2
H2)-C-13 using an extended cavity laser diode and an erbium doped fibe
r amplifier. These narrow lines are very promising candidates for wave
length/frequency standards in the 1550 nm region (the optical communic
ation band). We also discuss the possibility of making a working stand
ard in this wavelength region using a Fabry-Perot cavity cell. (C) 199
